Quick Rundown of Donald Trump’s Medical Exam Is Offered on ‘Dr. Oz’

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/15/us/politics/donald-trump-health-dr-oz.html?_r=0

After a whiplash-inducing morning of mixed messages, Donald J. Trump on Wednesday gave a small window into some of the results from his most recent physical examination in a taped appearance with the television celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz.

The quick run-through of results, which Mr. Trump is said to have given to the doctor to read from a piece of paper, came after the Republican presidential nominee’s aides had said he would, and then that he wouldn’t, broach the topic with the celebrity doctor on the “Dr. Oz Show.”

A person close to Mr. Trump would not discuss specifics of what he said on the syndicated show, which was taped on the West Side of Manhattan and is to be broadcast on Thursday.

Mr. Trump, 70, discussed the results as the campaign of his rival, Hillary Clinton, was expected to release some details of her own latest examinations after her recent bout of pneumonia.

Your medical records are not so interesting. It's due process. Just provide it from a real test, real doctor, same as every other candidate in history.

Trump weighs 267 pounds and takes statins for his cholesterol.

Dr. Oz calls Trump slightly overweight...

I just put his height, 6'2", and weight in a BMI calculator, and it's 34.3. Over 30 is considered obese.
